The last guy who did that they arrested him as a terrorist when he was just a cheapskate.

It's been tried. They were arrested. You would be too if you tried.

It's illegal and unsafe. Boxes aren't always kept at an even temperature or can be jossled around quite a bit. What about food and bathroom breaks? It's just a very poor idea.

No it is certainly not illegal. It is only dangerous if you are not put in the forward hold section of the aircraft (where there is heating). In fact, it is widely rumoured that many budget carriers are going to be offering this as "cargo class" for a heavily reduced fare but only between shorter distances.

Its illegal but you may get off when they open it and you're dead/

Rhonda

It is dangerous, even for pets! Cannot even estimate how many times pets have been lost, only to be found.... Sad, but true. I'd rather pay the fare.

Marias

yeah... and unless you have holes in the box youll die from suffocation...

Dolly

lol, i guess?

Boss

It is legal in most states! not California.

not unless you're dead...and cargo rates would probably be much more expensive than passenger rates.

Yes it is. The last person who did it was arrested, since it's illegal to transport humans over the state lines [or something like that], but he also took a bigger risk:

Plane luggage holds aren't always pressurized. Which means if it wasn't, and you were in a box down there, you would arrive to your desination dead. There's really no air at 35,000+ feet, so your chances of survival are like -27%.

And since they scan a lot of luggage now, you might not even make it on the plane. If you do try, however, make sure to give a shout-out to all of us here at Yahoo! Answers when you appear on the news. We'll be watching!

But you could suffocate in the cargo hold

Yes, but even if you could, with the way that the parcel companies handle goods you will either get lost or damaged , and most likely wouldn't survive to tell the tale and be able to spend the money you have been saved.

No, just not all in one box!!

It would have worked pre 9/11
Now, everything is banned-sucks!
